Need help for my in suite Bathroom!
Comments (7)Hi Suzi, Without a true colour swatch, obtained from Ralph Lauren you will have a near impossible task of matching the colours. If you can get a swatch though, a Dulux paint mixing centre will most likely be able to match the colour. However a big word of caution… colours on the computer screen, the direction of the light into the room, the season, and the properties location (in this instance the US) all have an effect on how A the camera and B how your eyes see the colour due to the difference int he light hitting the surface. So just because the colour looks great in the photo doesn’t mean it’ll be the right colour or look the same way in your bathroom. Alternatively building professionals i.e architects and painters can obtain full colour fanbooks from the likes of Dulux which offer thousands of colour swatches to look at. I suggest you find a way to get hold of one and have a look yourself, think to yourself will this colour look like how I want in my bathroom/like the one I’ve seen… If you can’t do that in your bathroom with it’s own light conditions, order a colour swatch (or a few) from Dulux and hold it up in your bathroom to see how it looks there, and if you need a bigger area to make a decision, thats what tester pots are for. If my screen / Ralph Lauren’s online colours are anything like accurate, try Dulux 10YY 44/125, order a colour swatch and see if it’s similar. I hope that helps,...See MoreChampagne colour loo and basin in small bathroom - what to do?
Comments (13)Hi Paula, why don't we try and base the design from the items that you don't like: green floor and magnolia basin and toilet. You could paint the walls in two colours, splitting them in an horizontal way (see inspiration picture attached). The bottom part could be a similar green to the floor and the top part a magnolia like the sanitary ware. You can also paint the radiator in the green colour like the walls. I would stop the green like 15/20 cm above the top of your sink to create a kind of splash back effect. You can then add pictures on the walls to make it more cosy. Ceiling painted in the magnolia colour and skirting too. This is the cheapest solution I could think of... Good luck!...See MorePlease help me improve our ensuite bathroom...
Comments (17)Thank you so much everyone for taking the time to comment. It's really tricky taking good photos as the space is so tight, but I will attach another photo and sketch to give a better idea of the space. Daisy- the photo was stretched, I didn't realise my portrait photo would be converted to landscape. So the sink is just set into a 50cm wide unit. I think the idea of moving the sink to the current bidet position is a good one, although as you'll see from the sketch there's very little wall on the left of the window so not much space for a mirror in front of the sink. Carolina- I love that photo! The bit I can't quite get is how the shower door would work if the shower head remained on the right (all the shower controls/electrics are on the other side of the wall, taking up space in a wardrobe!!) and the sink was on the left. whizzywig- the door opens out (my sketch should show it now) and the photo was taken from outside the door. I think the distance you asked for is 74cm. And yes, we queried the plumbing for a wc when we bought the house, but unfortunately it's not there - they said they didn't like the idea of a loo near their bed!!!...See MoreEn-Suite bathroom renovation - need creative advice! :)
Comments (4)I'm struggling to visualise this, so here are some random comments which aren't very coherent but may just help. My architect was clear that when you go into a bathroom, ideally you shouldn't be able to see the toilet. If you can manage it, moving the toilet to where the shower is at present would achieve that and also tuck it nicely out of the way. I don't know if it would matter that you could probably hear the flush from the bedroom. I think you would need to put the bath under the window at the back, as in Nicola's lovely photo. For the shower, if you can manage one of those without a shower tray, again as in Nicola's photo, I think that would stop the room looking too narrow. If that is a chimney breast, sometimes it's possible to create a cupboard in the middle of it, which may be a storage option depending on structural safety. And other fairly invisible storage can be achieved by floor to wall cupboards, perhaps with a mirror door. To protect against flooding damage, you could either start the cupboard a bit above the floor or mount it on marine ply. Sorry, not a plan, but some random ideas....See MoreRachel Pill
